Become a Teacher in Mississippi

ABCTE can help you change careers and become a teacher in Mississippi. In July 2006, the Mississippi Department of Education approved ABCTE as a route to full teacher licensure. The Mississippi Department of Education fully recognizes ABCTE certification for all school districts and charter schools in the state.

Why Choose ABCTE?

ABCTE offers a flexible, affordable route to earn your Mississippi teaching certificate. You can complete our self-paced program online without quitting your job or taking additional college courses.

We want you to meet Angela Moore, a Mississippi mother of three who became certified through ABCTE’s flexible program and biology teacher Traci Brown, who holds the distinction of having received the 1000th ABCTE certification. Angela and Traci are also participants in the ABCTE Teach & Inspire Scholarship Program which provides financial and professional support as you transition to the classroom. Currently, there are more than 140 scholarship recipients from Mississippi.

With ABCTE, you can earn your Mississippi teacher certification in a manner that is both cost-effective and efficient. On average, candidates take 8-10 months to complete the program. We provide a variety of resources to help prepare you for exams including online workshops, practice tests, and support from our advising team. ABCTE costs $975 for initial preparation and testing. Compare this to the cost of an education degree in Mississippi.
